This has perhaps been Eatonville's most versatile commercial building. It was the town's first movie theater, built by the Van Eatons in 1915 and run by Frank Van Eaton for several years (with a gap when he enlisted to serve in the Great War). 

Angelo Pecchia bought the business in 1922, one of several theaters in the region that he would eventually own and operate with his wife, Regina.
A local pianist played music to accompany the silent films (the first “talkies” didn’t reach town until 1930). During a severe rodent infestation that was plaguing the town, one could see a show by exchanging a dead rat for a ticket! After the Pecchias opened the Roxy Theatre (tour stop No. 7), this building accommodated a variety of groups and businesses including a Pentecostal Church, the Fraternal Order of Eagles, and Bertram's Upholstery.
